Summary
At some point during season 8 Etho disappeared, leaving behind a man too far gone for his best friend to realise it. Bdubs continues onto season 9 and builds his solitary monolith.
Today Bdubs leaves his home to a wonderful surprise:
There is a fox sleeping on his welcome mat. A very sad-looking white fox.(or Etho got cursed to be a fox, which, in true fairytale magic, is only broken by true love. Leading him to try and get Bdubs to admit his feelings through dreams and a warming new furry form.)
(Bdubs is sad and just wants his best friend back)Bookmarked by sta-r (ykrose)

Summary
Bdubs nods. He is so tired of this. He is just so tired of how they seem to dance around each others feelings, as if they were barefoot on hot coal. Bdubs is ashamed at how he still can’t seem to say anything.
Geese caw, and Bdubs looks upwards. He hates that he does not know what Etho knows. He hates that he cannot just tear open Etho’s mind and pick through every thought, like sifting through different flowers to find the red and pink roses, only to see how they strangle each other with the hyacinths, chrysanthemums and poppies.

In which, due to a few nerves in season 1, Mindcrack’s reputation, and the reaction on Etho’s face when he’s brought up, X somehow gets it into his head that Bdubs is a raging homophobe.
(If it had been a few years ago, he would have been right.)

Summary
Death, as a concept, has never been something that scary to Etho.
“Man, they are-” Etho swallowed hard, cringing at how tight his voice sounded. “They are really waiting till the last moment, aren’t they?”
None of them asked who ‘they’ were. Etho really didn’t know himself, it was just easier to blame something like this on someone other than his failing body. Of course, his body didn’t feel like it was failing, but it had to be, because he was dying. He was supposed to be dying, or dead, at 35. He was supposed to-
Five minutes left.
“Do you think it will hurt?”
Etho was supposed to die at 35.

Can Mr. Dubs be normal about his celebrity crush?! by Latteinacafe

Summary
Mr. Dubs, the enthusiastic, funny, and lovable art teacher with big brown eyes and a large smile never fails to brighten up students' days. His openness and maybe a little bit of oversharing are hilarious and a breath of fresh air amongst all the stress.
They know the place he grew up in; they know that he usually had eggs on toast for breakfast; they know that he was a horse girl when he was a child.
He's also incredibly fun to tease.
But one thing, the one thing they didn't know about him was who his husband was.
And why he couldn’t be normal whenever the mega-famous actor Etho Slab was mentioned!
(Aka, 5 times the students have to witness Mr. Double O, their art teacher, be weird about Etho Slab, and 1 time they find out why)

Summary
“You can ask questions, if you want to.” Bdubs never liked prying into Ethos life, which he liked, but it ended up meaning that Ethos knowledge of Bdubs far exceeded Bdubs’ knowledge of Etho. The opportunity of opening up like this comes in extreme circumstances, or a slip of the mind, Etho had decided this was neither, he had known Bdubs long enough.

Summary
Not yet late summer, but getting there languid and lazy. Heat prickles across Etho's skin. When Bdubs dies, Etho is going to be so utterly alone, gutted and hollowed out.
Etho has, he wants to think, been good about this whole thing. He hasn't screamed, hasn't cried more than he needed to, hasn't left or walked out or told someone he doesn't love Bdubs anymore in a shameful moment of weakness when what he really is is overtired. He has learned to put his desire away into little boxes, to not look and to not touch, to not bring it up unless Bdubs does first.
The clock reads 5:59AM.
==
Bdubs is diagnosed with a terminal illness and Etho is left to pick up the pieces.

Summary
Sometimes, when Grian was up and about, Mumbo found himself watching him from afar, easy to find from his laugh if nothing else. He was liked by everyone in the office, able to make conversation with all staff and dodge questions he evidently didn’t want to answer by wordlessly slipping off onto the next person, and Mumbo couldn’t help but find it fascinating. He knew, logically, he also tended to get along with everyone, and would eventually know everyone in the office beyond just their names, but it didn’t change his admiration.
Of course, Mumbo was among the people in the office, and therefore a victim of Grian’s distraction more often than not, especially with their desks being so close together.
𐦍
Or, Mumbo finds himself having to choose between two crushes (spoiler alert, he never had to choose in the first place)

Summary
Being a vigilante is challenging, there's old ladies to help cross roads, groceries to carry, wanna-be muggers to beat up, weird creatures created by a supervillain that blow up. Somehow the most difficult aspect is the other vigilantes, specifically the mysterious, beautiful vigilante Etho, and Bdubs growing feelings for him.

“Are you asking me out on a date?”
Bdubs feels the panic start to rise in his throat, “If you’re not interested—”
“I didn’t say that!” Etho blurts out.

Summary
It started small. Etho wouldn’t respond to texts right away. Bdubs told himself that Etho was just busy. He wasn’t obligated to message back immediately… even though he used to.
Then he started to sit on the opposite side of class, barely meeting Bdubs’ eye. When he asked, Etho said he made a new friend and thought Bdubs wouldn’t mind. Bdubs tried a little harder to ignore his friends’ comments about Etho pulling away.
He cares, he does.

Summary
Etho Slab of Mycenae arrives with his sister, Gemini Tay of Mycenae, at Sparta. They hope to secure alliances and trades to ensure that Etho's acension to the throne is smooth. They are mistaken as suitors vying for the hand of Prince Bdubs, making their goal very, very difficult. As they await his decision, they spend a month in Sparta, catching up with old friends and enjoying their time amongst the festivities.
He meets a rude, arrogant... yet charming? Noble boy in one of the quiet courtyards. His wildness and free spirit awaken something in the young prince. Falling in love was the last thing on Etho's list.
Prince Bdubs of Sparta, the most beloved by Aphrodite Areia, a gift from the gods, and the fairest of the land. Royalty and nobility clamor for his hand across Greece. He stands, veiled in front of the hundreds present at his palace.
He will choose only one suitor to take his hand. All watch in anticipation. All hold their breath.
(Title from Carol Ann Duffy's poem, Beautiful.) This was inspired by the betrothal of Helen of Sparta to Meneleaus!
